Assuming that were true, what you've just done is doxxed an HN user, which is against site guidelines. The difference between what I did and what you did, is that my comment is based on your comment on Hacker News where you said you were a Tesla investor (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13354703 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13354703), whereas I've never made mention of why I'm supportive of Uber. You're right, I am, but I've never said why. I'm also supportive of Tesla too, for whatever that is worth. If you want to say someone is supportive of a company based on past previous comments and submissions on Hacker News, that's fine but doxxing someone based on content not on Hacker News is not kosher.

I've identified your employer who you shill for, not your personal details. I haven't doxxed you, and I expect better from someone who considers themselves a professional.

  Links to comments where I've shilled for them? I generally try to refrain on commenting on Uber except occasionally to add simple factual corrections, such as the one about Salle Yoo being promoted to CLO. What I am happy to comment on however is disclosing which of the commenters critical of Uber are critical because they have an undisclosed conflict of interest, such as yourself.

    I am critical of Uber because they are a terrible company made up of apathetic investors and employees; if I were to sell all of my Tesla shares today, I would still do everything in my power to burn Uber to the ground and leave nothing but ash.

      All the more reason for everyone reading your Uber comments on HN to completely discount them by default every time. You're not participating on HN in good faith. I'm not saying that Uber doesn't deserve some criticism. It does. So do other tech companies (like Tesla) and even non-tech companies. There's nothing particularly special about Uber with respect to these industry-wide and society-wide problems. The only difference between Uber and other companies is that it's far far more profitable for outrage porn journalists to write articles with Uber in the headline than any other company.
